1954 Map of Elk Ridge 3 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Natural Bridges Nat Mon and its ancient architectural sites dominate the southwest corner of this mid-century survey. Within the deep recesses of Armstrong Canyon, several Cliff Dwellings and a Natural Bridge appear, illustrating the area’s prehistoric significance. The map traces the diagonal path of the Mormon Trail across the high plateaus of Harmony Flat and Grand Flat, providing a detailed record of this historic transit corridor through the San Juan backcountry. High-elevation features like Maverick Point and the Maverick Spring sit within the Manti-La Sal National Forest boundary, while the landscape breaks into the dramatic drainage of Grand Gulch and Kane Gulch. This 1952 mapping project captures the relationship between these prehistoric dwellings and the early pioneer routes that navigated the complex canyon systems of southeastern Utah.
